Small-count caution
East Coventry Township reported 4 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 7,188. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to East Coventry Township's 55.6 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Bonneauville (55.6), Silver Spring Township (55.6), Great Bend (55.9), Elkland (56.2). These are same-year agency submissions that pass the same completeness screen, not a claim that the cities have identical conditions. They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
2020–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 44.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 55.6 in 2024 (+25.4%). The highest observed value was 55.6 in 2024 and the lowest 13.8 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 95.3% of reported property offenses in East Coventry Township, against a cohort median of 85.8%. The remainder is burglary (0) and motor vehicle theft (2). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Position in the state cohort
At 55.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, East Coventry Township ranks 456 of 838 — above 381 of the 837 other Pennsylvania cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -15.9% against the cohort median of 66.1. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate East Coventry Township's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; cities that fail the completeness test stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
Based on 4 reported violent incidents in a population of 7,188. At this volume, one additional or one fewer report can shift the rate and letter grade noticeably; small-city crime counts are inherently more volatile year to year than large-city counts, so treat this grade as a data point, not a precise ranking.
Small-city offense counts above are voluntary UCR submissions, not neighbourhood advice. Year-to-year swings can look large when the population base is modest.
